Thanks for the report, Mike.

I should draw up a proper design for this, but I think the solution will
be an alert box the same as the one for removing dependencies
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter?action=AttachFile&do=view&target
=remove-depended-alert.jpg>, just with slightly different primary text:
"{Title} can’t be installed unless these items are removed:".

Title:
  No easy way to resolve conflicts

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  I had VirtualBox 3.2 (commercial, not OSE) installed. I've downloaded
  4.0, and executed the package so that Software Center opens it. It
  greyed out the "install" button and only said it conflicts with 3.2
  Virtualbox. I resolved it manually by uninstalling VirtualBox in the
  terminal via apt-get, but there is no obvious easy way to resolve the
  issue in Software Center itself.
